If you read the link you will see that they are talking about margin of 20%. This is already the case with Nasadaq 100 futures so I think there is nothing to worry about. It may be directed towards brokers who offer lower margins than those assigned by exchanges. Also it has nothing to do with...

Juggernaut, Where is that chart from? Looks nice.

Nicodemus, You didn't see any because it was very tight.

Do you actually have >$20,000 in your futures account or you are counting funds from your equity account as well? You should be able to buy 3 NQ contracts. Also I don't think today was a tipical NQ trading day. It looked more like YHOO from early 2000.

I could not find anywhere on their site that they offer it to non customers.

Echo, What happens if you are not formes TS user? Do you also have to have an account with TS?

I don't think that it is interfaced with IB. Maybe I'm wrong. Armaniman mentioned in one of his posts that he is using Tradestation 2000i together with esignal and IB as a broker and he is trading strictly E-minis. He hasn't posted since September 10, does anyone know if he is OK?

andrasnm, You lost 900K. From your start up capital or from profits?

What is the best data provider for futures with Medved Quote Tracker? I need real time currency futures data. I guess Qcharts used to provide those with their Basic Qcharts for 79.99 but I guess now you have to subscribe to CME exchange fees as well.

Fohat, I checked the report. It seems that IB is a bigger fish than most of us thught.
